Some Orders Need Extra Care

Fragile items. Heavy products. Custom requests. These orders take more time and cost more to process — but most stores eat that cost.

Handling fees let you recover those costs. Customers who need extra care can pay for it. Those who don't? Normal processing.

Kraft adds handling fees as an optional checkbox in the cart. Customers see it, understand it, and choose it when they need it.
